Self Defense Situation - What Do You Do? - Part 26: Attack With A Strong Defense

You see, there is water where she is being attacked. In case the water is up to the knee, you might find it difficult to kick. It takes more time to kick, and there is a high chance you can choose your balance. Let's watch this video. This is not my video and all video credit goes to chintya candranaya. You can like or subscribe to her YouTube channel if you want.

From 0:57 to 1:40 Minutes

You can do flying kicks. It looks cool, but it is not as effective as you think. When you fight for self defense, you should use those techniques or strikes that can save your life. The attacker is doing the flying kick. And you see how the girl makes her move to defend that.

If you do flying kick, and the attacker is a good fighter, you will be in trouble. It is better to stick to the basics. Besides flying kicks, you also see different kicks in this video. There is not much water over there; otherwise, it would be challenging to do kicks.

When you raise your leg from water to kick, it makes a sound. And you cannot do that fast. So the attacker has the time to defend your kick and attack you back. Losing your balance can be the worse thing that can happen. There is sand in the water. It can be slippery.

If you watch the behind the scene, you see they lose their balance while shooting [from 2:31 to 2:35 minutes]. It looks nice and clean when you see a fight in movies. If there are some mistakes in any move, they can shoot that again. In a real-life, when you fight for self defense, you cannot do that.
